12 Steps to a Worry Free Retirement by Daniel Kehrer

The author outlines strategies to increase your retirementincome. He advises us to study the top plans in industry andthen to try customizing the successful elements of the topplans into our own investment program. He indicates thatfast growth in overseas markets could benefit our own portfolio.The author cautions that an early retirement could deprive usof the maximum social security allotment. He praises the Keoghplans for providing fully taxable contributions now. The overallthrust of this book is excellent. I would supplement it withinvestments in real estate to maximize cash flow in the retirement years. If you don't own a house now, buy one.If you already own a house, make the sacrifice to buy another.The added cash flow from a second home will more than supplementyour future social security check. There are many programsout there which deal with real estate accumulation. TheCarleton Sheets Program "Nothing Down" is an excellent sourcefor purchasing real estate. Dave Del Dotto is another goodsource. Matthew Lesko has books out there which show you howto maximize government grants to accumulate wealth. This work is a solid value for the price charged. As mentionedabove, I would supplement this work with real estate investments.The United States Government, the States and local municipalitiesare doing more to get people to purchase their own homes thanat any other time in our history. Interest rates are at an historic low level. Good luck and utilize all of these toolsto maximize your own personal portfolio of investments.

Great book for retirement planning.

This book will help you make sure there's enough money to enjoy those 20 or more "golden years," once you stop working. Learn to estimate your needs, manage your investments and debts, and monitor your retirement plan's "pulse." Includes ways to get the most out of 401(k)s, Keoghs, IRAs, and early retirement -- while you avoid pension-payout traps.

Easy to understand.

This book lays out what you need to know about planning your retirement using easy to understand text and charts. The chapter I liked best was: Step 12 Monitor Your Retirement Plan's Pulse, I think its a good idea to read this chapter first.
